Now that I am happy with the towing capacity of our Disco I need to sort out the issue with Discos & LED lights in trailers (as Craig raised in a thread I started in the old forum).  The 2 devices I am considering are:
1. The PulseBusta S-B-B from labtronix (http://www.labtronx.com.au/products.htm)
2. The L.E.D. Adaptor Module from Linear Electronic Design (http://www.linearelectronicdesign.com/)

Does anyone have experience with either of these devices or any other alternative arrangement to ensure the Disco recognises there's a trailer out the back!?  I've got a month to sort this before I pick the trailer up.

Thanks in advance.

G'day,
There is a heap of discussion on this on the AULR D3 forum. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/d3-d4-rrs/
Luckily I dont have this issue as my TVAN is old enough to have bulbs  :o

Thanks for the suggestions on the aulro forum.  I also had a look at disco3.co.uk where this has been discussed.  A number of UK Disco owners report using both the linear electronic & the labtronx devices, ordering them from Aus to the UK market!  Seems to be problem with a good number of European cars, not just LRs.  For security of installation I have gone for the PulseBusta S-C that is wired into the trailer cable & fitted on to the drawbar.  Fortunately my build is at the stage where Track can install it for me - I arranged the part to be delivered direct from labtronx to Tracktrailer.  Kudos to Lee from labtronx & Brett (& engineers) at Tracktrailer for their speed in sorting this out - all done in a couple of hours this afternoon.  I hope the installation goes as smoothly!
